The backup for my iPad mini will no longer save to my computer. In iTunes I deleted the old backup in case it was corrupted but I am still having the same problem. I decided to check in Finder to make sure the file was actually gone, but I can't find the MobileSync folder where the backups are stored (Library/Application Support/Mobile Sync/Backup). The MobileSync folder is completely gone. I have the latest version of iTunes and OS X 10.8.2. Does anyone know what the deal is?

Your in the wrong library folder. You are in the user library you need to be in the root library folder. In your finder window go to the top and click go when the drop down appears hold the option key down and library will appear. Follow the same pathway as before. Lion and mountain lion has a this library folder hidden also you can use the go to folder option from this drop down menu and type ~/Library
